The Ritz of the railways

An introduction to the Elipsos sleeper train
The facilities onboard

Capitals of culture by Trenhotel

Mention Elipsos to a lover of European rail travel and they’ll go misty eyed. From the sophisticated à la carte restaurant, to the glitzy full-length bar. This is no ordinary sleeper train.

Elipsos trains are luxury accommodation on wheels. No wonder they are also known as Train Hotels. Your holiday starts as soon as you step on board. You’ll enjoy excellent facilities in all classes. But travel in Gran Class and you’ll even get your own private toilet and shower.
 
The art of train travel
Daily overnight Elipsos services connect Spain and France; whisking you overnight in style between Europe’s finest cities including Paris, Madrid and Barcelona. Elipsos trains are named after 20th-century artists (Joan Miro and Francisco de Goya). During the winter months these services run 5 times a week.

After a good night’s sleep in your cosy compartment – you’ll be ready to check out their masterpieces as soon as you arrive at the station.
